[Intro]
Oh-oh…
I’m still here.
[Verse 1]
Used to hide under blankets
Phone face down till noon
Told my friends I was “busy”
Really sinking in my room
Every mirror was a battle
Every thought, a quiet war
I was tired of my breathing
Didn’t wanna feel no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Then one small breath
Turned into two
Tiny spark
Inside the bruise
If I can stand
I’m gonna move
If I am here
I’ve got something left to prove
[Build]
Hey! Hey! Oh—hey!
One more breath
One more night
One more step
Back toward the light!
[Chorus]
I’m still standing!
Through the thunder, through the rain
Still standing!
I walked through fire, felt the pain
Let the whole sky break above me
Let the wild wind call my name
I was lost, but I am rising
And I won’t go back again
I’m still here!
I’m still here!
[Drop]
Oh—hey! Oh—hey!
Still here!
Still strong!
Still breathing!
Carry on!
[Verse 2]
There were mornings I felt empty
There were nights I lost the fight
But the sun kept finding windows
And somehow I found the light
I stopped asking for permission
Just to take up space and breathe
Started planting little reasons
To become who I could be
Every scar became a story
Every fall became a stone
And the road that nearly broke me
Built the path that led me home
[Pre-Chorus]
One small spark
Became a flame
I found my voice
I found my name
If storms return
Then let them come
I know now
What I’ve become
[Chorus]
I’m still standing!
Through the thunder, through the rain
Still standing!
I walked through fire, felt the pain
Let the whole sky break above me
Let the wild wind call my name
I was lost, but I am rising
And I won’t go back again
[War Drum Breakdown]
Stand. Breathe. Rise.
Stand. Breathe. Rise.
When the night comes—
WE RISE!
When the storm calls—
WE RISE!
When the earth shakes—
WE STAND!
One heart!
One flame!
One life!
Again!
[Bridge]
I used to think that being strong
Meant never breaking down
Now I know the strongest thing
Was getting off the ground
I don’t need to be who I was
Before the darkness came
I survived enough to meet myself
And choose another name
[Build]
One breath!
Two breaths!
One step!
Then another!
I crossed the storm
I faced the night
I found the fire
I chose my life!
[Final Chorus]
I’M STILL STANDING!
Through the thunder, through the rain
STILL STANDING!
And I’d walk that road again
Let the whole sky break above me
Let the mountains know my name
I have walked out of the darkness
I have learned to love the flame
I’m still standing!
Hear the heartbeat, hear the sound
Still standing!
With my feet upon the ground
I don’t need to fear tomorrow
I don’t need to hide my scars
I survived my darkest winter—
NOW I’M DANCING UNDER STARS!
[Final Drop]
HEY!
Still here!
HEY!
Still strong!
HEY!
Still breathing!
Carry on!
WE RISE!
WE RISE!
[Outro]
One small breath
Turned into two
Tiny spark
Inside the bruise
I thought surviving was the ending…
But it was only
Where I bloomed.
